Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Mark emotion only on Well, hey, we'll
get to the governor's race. We'll get to mom, Donnie.
And the shutdown looks like it's ending. It's coming to
an end. The first big vote last night. They'll have
it wrapped up, probably by Wednesday. Schumer getting a lot
(00:20):
of flak from Democrats. The leading Democrat right now probably
Gavin Newsom. He's the leader of the twenty twenty eight bunch,
and he tweets out just one word pathetic. Pathetic. So
they'll be coming after Schumer, which is good.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
He deserves it.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And it's gonna get settled. And then like every other
shutdown we've had, how many of you have been through,
You've been through fourteen of them. You know, we'll just
forget about it. Everything, we'll get back to normal. It's
just good for the Democrats have a playbook. They all
get their assignment. If you were watching the Sunday shows yesterday,
(00:59):
you may have to notice that they're not only saying
the same thing, they're using these same exact phrases. It's
all coordinated. They do a conference call and it comes
from K Street in Washington, DC. All the Democrats are
given their assignment what to say on the shows, the
phrases to use one of them, which you saw every
Democrat use on the Sunday shows. Somewhere in the middle
(01:22):
area said if Donald Trump didn't spend all his time
on the golf course. You saw that like a fourteen
times on those Sunday shows. You heard Adam Shift said,
you heard Hakim Jeffrey said, every Democrat used that phrase. Well,
he didn't spend all his time on the golf course.
Now obviously coordinated, but also what does it mean, does
he spend all his time on the golf course. No,
(01:43):
obviously not. You know, he plays golf on Saturday and Sunday,
and I've played golf with him a lot of times.
He plays fast. It's not four hours, it's two hours.
Maybe it's quick. He plays quick. So you're entitled on
Saturday and Sunday to take the day off. You know,
Obama liked to play basketball. He didn't like golf. He
(02:05):
liked to play basketball. He even had a basketball court
put it in the White House so he could play basketball,
and Saturday and Sunday he would go on that basketball
court and play basketball. I never heard anybody say, well,
he didn't spend all this time playing basketball. Every president
does something on the weekends. Every president has a hobby
of some kind. Nixon liked to read Saturday and Sunday,
(02:26):
sit around and read. They didn't say, well, he didn't
spend all his time reading. You're entitled on Saturday and
Sunday to take a couple of hours on Saturday and
Sunday to do whatever your hobby is. So a crazy
talking point they were using. Nancy Pelosi is leaving. That's
the good news. The fascinating part is her amazing career
(02:48):
in the stock market. She is up over the last
few years. Warren Buffett, I think it's up like four
hundred percent or something. Is her portfolio. This is not
a joke. Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent. Seventeen
thousand percent. That's the greatest ever trading record in the
(03:11):
history of the stock exchange. Nobody has ever been up
like that, No hedge fund, no anybody. Now, obviously she
did it with insider trading. When you are in Congress,
you get access to all kinds of information before anybody else.
You know what company's going to get a ruling against them,
what company's going to get a ruling for them, and
(03:32):
you can trade based on that. It's legal. I don't
know how this ever happened, but it's legal for people
in Congress to engage in insider trading. It's got to
be outlawed. But the only people can outlawd the congressmen themselves.
So Pelosi was the king, the queen of insider trading.
Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent. She's made hundreds
(03:53):
of millions of dollars in Congress. She was asked about
it over.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
The first of your career.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Has her husband ever maybe stock purchaser saleb some information
you received from you?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Absolutely not, no, No, you're up seventeen thousand percent. Did
you use your insider note? No, no, no, just shere
brilliance on her part, But it's done all the time,
not on a smaller scale. You got this new Jersey
governor elect, Mikey Cheryl, who's brand new, just started. But
(04:23):
in her brief little time in Congress, she somehow made
seven million trading stock, just like that seven million, And
our friend down the hall there, Charlemagne, asked her, but
did you make seven million trading stocks?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
There is no individual stock trading. It's not as if
I go sit on the House Arm Service Committee and
suddenly I'm trading Boeing or something. There's none of that.
I'm totally out of individual stocks. And I, like I said,
I think every member of Congress.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Shall be well, did you make seven million in stock
trees at all? Well?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I haven't.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I don't believe I did, but I'd have to go
see what that was alluding to it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Now, you know how much money you got to have
to not notice if you've made seven million to not
notice seven million showing up in your bank account or
your your stock account. If you didn't notice seven million,
you got to be worth hundreds of millions not to
notice seven million. I mean, if you're Elon Musk and
an extra seven million showed up in your stock portfolio,
(05:26):
you might not note. Who's going to notice you got
five hundred billion. Who's gonna know a seven million? But
she didn't notice the seven million? Anyway. Hey, the good
news is there's some indictments coming. The grand jury approved
subpoenas for John Brennan, the dirty former CIA director. But
it looks like they're going after Strack and Page all
(05:46):
the people that did that. Disgusting Russia witch hunt hoax.
One by one. They'll be going after all of them.
So that's that's good news. Expect that pretty soon. So
the race for governor, you got HOCl in trouble. Obviously,
people can't stand Hokel and she's embracing Mamdannie. You know,
(06:07):
they had that big Democrat conference in Puerto Rico. They
called the somos whatever that stands for, but it's basically
they say it's to relax in a conference. It's a
conference when they're all to talk to each other. But
as Curtis would say, it's whining, dining, and pocket lining
kind of a deal. And they had to do a
(06:29):
couple of joint appearances and Hokel was all over Mam Donnie,
introducing them, praising them, holding hands with him. So you'll
see Stephanic, at least Stephonic running against Nancy Hokeel Kathy
Hochel for governor. This could be an interesting race.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
This is a toxic governor who has a record of
delivering the highest taxes in the nation, of hurting hard
working New Yorkers, of turning her back on law enforcement
officers and small businesses. New York is in catastrophe because
of Kathy Hochel's lead readership.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Nastophonic, she's Ferosias going after HOCl and she's going to
time the Mom.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Donnie, this was not a mandate, even though Mom Dommi
is claiming such. He barely got over fifty percent, So
that is really a historically low performance for someone who
won the Democrat primary. That means nearly half of New
York City voters, which is traditionally a Democrat city, voted
against Mom Dommi because they know he is so radical,
he's out of touch with hard working families, with small
(07:25):
businesses who are already crushed by the highest taxes in
the nation.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, she's right, Mom, Donnie. He did get a majority
fifty point four percent, but remember he was up against
the biggest loser in the world, Andrew Cuomo. Curtis was
a good candidate, but remember everybody on earth, every major figure,
was telling you not to vote for Curtis, so nobody
could have I mean, there's nobody in the history of
(07:51):
an election they ever had to shoot greased for them
more than Cuomo. I mean, the runway was cleared for
him and he still couldn't pull it off. So that's
how Mam Donnie Won. Stephanic will be a big, big,
tough challenger to Hochell.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
She's an accidental governor. She's only in this position because
she was Cuomo's lieutenant governor and when New Yorkers were
looking for strong leadership from a governor. Not to bend
the knee to Zorn Mamdami, Kathy Hochel Benthany, Why did
she do that? Because she is hemorrhaging support even in
her own party among Democrats.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, now she's going to have a lot of people
going after But who's going to go after her? Aoc Well,
a lot of people don't take her seriously. Schumer is
an old, dried up fossil Hakeem Jefferies. He talks like
a robot. He talks as he's such a robotic guy.
He's already going after Stephanic.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
You know, at least Stephonic is nothing more than a
handmaiden for Donald Trump's extreme policy. She's a sickophant who
has been a repeated rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
He's he's one of those guys on the conference call.
He repeats whatever he's told to. If the President didn't
spend all his time on a golf course. Blah blah
blah knows she's supposed to use the word extreme. President
Trump's extreme agenda with his extreme policies is extreme, Maga
extreme magit. What is so extreme? What extreme policies? What's
the most extreme thing? What ice simply enforcing the law?
(09:15):
Following the law? That's extreme? Since when there'll be ads
against Hochel.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Now Elist Devonic is running for governor of New York
to do what he's.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This is a this is a hocal ad. This is
Hokal's actually used against Tefonic.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Now Elist Devonic is running for governor of New York
to do what she's always done. Put Trump first. She
is phenomenal, She is a friend of mine, phenomenal at
putting Trump ahead of you.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh my god, she knows Trump. That's going to be
their whole campaign. So here's the problem for Republicans. You're
going to have possibly a big primary because Bruce Blakeman,
the brilliant county executive, best county executive in America Nassau County.
I hear he wants to run. So if he runs
against Stephonic, that is one tough choice. Stephonic everybody loves
(10:04):
she's a pit bull. She's great. But it's Blakeman who's
the actual executive, who has actual management experience running a county,
which is like being the governor of Nassau County. So
he's the guy with more experience. He's the best county executive.
He'd be a great governor. That's a tough choice. That's
a very very tough primary. Now, Stephanic would probably do
(10:25):
better upstate because she's got that kind of an upstate
kind of a sound, and she talks kind of fashions.
She's very upstate. Bruce Blakeman is more of a sophisticated
city slicker type of guy. But half the votes for
governor are right here in New York City. You got
to do really well in New York City. I would
imagine Blakeman does much better in New York City than Stefanic.
(10:47):
He'd have to go upstate and campaign, but got a
hell of a hell of a resume. But this is
a really tough one for Republicans, a really tough primary
coming up next year. Hey, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
you know it gets tough. They've cleaned it up. It's
a much better Rock and Roll Hall of Fame now
than it was a few years ago. But it's tough
(11:09):
with you. Like in the year, you know, the first
year rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Elvis Beatles. You know,
you put everybody in, but when you get the year
forty five, you know you're starting to run out of people.
So it was it was a bad company. I mean
they were okay, bad company, but rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. But then you got to perform the Hits
(11:30):
A bad company, It's okay. I mean they're not the Beatles,
the bad company. They're at the Rolling Stones. You know,
you're thirty seven, you run out of pa Hey, we
love Cyndi Lauper. Who could not like Cyndi Lapper she
got in.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
I know that I stand on the shoulders of the
women in the industry that came before me, and my
shoulders are broad enough to have the women that come
after me stand online. And and yeah, it's that I
thought was really important, which is why I really came
(12:03):
here tonight, is to tell you that the little kid
and me still believes that rock and roll can save
the world. So I just want to say, now, of
all times, let's come together again and do good in
the world because it needs us.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, we'll get right on that, but we love her.
Then they got a lot of great performances on the
show to be you know, tightened up, edited down, be
a great TV special. Elton John performed, Elton John did
the Beach Boys hit. Elton John still sounds good. He
lost a lot of rains in his voice, but still
sounds good. David Letterman there, Santa Claus himself. Warren Zevon
(12:49):
gave Letteriman his guitar. I guess he knew he was
didn't have much longer to go and told Letterman to
take care of it. He brought it to the ceremony.
It was used and one of the Sun's Well, here's
let him in on that show.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
And then the thing about enjoy every sandwich. You know
that that's easy, but it's deeply meaningful.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And there's not a person in this room who hasn't
considered that. But nobody can hang on to that on
a daily basis. But by God, isn't that true of
life around the planet. Yeah, I don't know what he's
talking about, but it sounds good. But the beard, the beard,
I don't know. He said he has that beard because
he doesn't want you to ever confuse him with the
old David Letterman. He's like a new, different guy. All right, Hey,
(13:31):
Mom Donnie is putting together his team. The five or
six names we've seen already are all ex Deblasio administration.
One is from the Adams administration. So it's gonna be bad.
But again, if it's all these Deblasio people picking de
Blasio administration people, we got through eight years at the Blasia.
We'll get through this. Now here's the interesting part. Brad Lander,
(13:54):
who's a really awful, awful guy. You saw him in
the primaries, really kooky, left wing, disgusting. He's Jewish, but
he embraced every anti Semitic, stupid, anti Israel thing in
the world. So people really just came to really dislike
brad Lander. But he was a big help to Mom
Donnie in the primary. But they've made it clear no
(14:17):
brad Lander in the administration. He's out. They have kicked
him to the curb. So there's one good thing Mom
Donnie has done. Why would he do that?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Is he just so?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Does he not have any gratitude? Is he not loyal? Well,
people said that behind the scenes brad Lander who's an
obnoxious guy, really obnoxious guy, they say behind the scenes.
He was running around telling everybody he'll be running city hall.
He'll be running things in a Mam Donnie, Well it
got back to mom, Donnie. Brad Lander is out, so
that's good. Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
(14:51):
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten, always ahead
of the news. Here's more Marks imone on seven to ten.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
Wo r Oh my.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
God, what's going on? I just heard Andy Williams and
Jose Peliciano and Christmphy music. And the tree is up
in Rockefeller Center. No lights on it yet. They got
a decorate hive, but they actually put it up Saturday.
Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
how you doing. Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
I think it's pretty obvious that the governor's race it's
going to be hulcal slamming Trump and Stephanic trying to
slam Mandani. By the way, she should pronounce his name right,
because as trivial as it is, it sounds they'll hammer
her for it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
But I think right, yeah, wa Al Sharpton would say
to go Mam Damn.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Yeah, I like that. That's okay with me. But right
now Trump's name is more toxic than Mom Danny's, and
it's unfortunate, and I think Stephonic will run away from Trump.
And Hulk mentioned Trump's name in every sentence of every
speed each makes, and I think it's really a problem
for Stephanic.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I don't know, a year from now, you're gonna be
better being linked to Trump than to Mom Donnie and.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Your mouth to God's ears, I hope.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So all right, thanks for Colin. Yeah, yes, you will
be linked to Bray. Bruce Blakeman and Trump been very
good friends, very close. Trump's a big Bruce Blakeman supporter,
so they'll have the same problem too. Let's go to
uh Nat in New Hyde Park, Nat. How you doing good?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Good?
Speaker 10 (16:29):
A great show, Mark as usual. I learned more from
you than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Really, we're gonna send you a bill for tuition. We're
gonna be like Harvard. We're gonna charge you at ninety
five thousand this semester.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Go ahead, okay, anyway, I think Stephanic should go up
the Schumer's seat. I think she could easily beat AOC,
and I think she would make a great senator. And
I think Blakeman would be a much better governor.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, you know what, that's a very very good point.
That's an excellent point. With Schumer running, you know, nobody
could ever run against him. Had The problem is when
he was in the race, the big Republican donors all
wanted him because he that's Schumer's main business donor favors.
He takes care of the donors. So the Republicans everybody
got behind Schumer. With him out of the race, AOC
(17:20):
is not big on those donor favors. For the first time,
a Republican would have a shot. It's a statewide race,
so Republican would have a shot. Stephani would be great
a senator. You're right, that's a good, good idea. Let's
go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning, Mara. Mark.
Did you see that photo op that Mandami took with
his transition team the day after the election? Those women,
it looked like it was the escape from the dog pound?
Should hand out leashes the dog pound mob? Everybody talking
(17:57):
about Trump playing golf, well, at least he's playing golf
on golf courses that he built with his own money
and his own construction company, whereas Obama was playing basketball
at the White House on a two hundred and fifty
million dollar basketball court that we, the sucker citizens, paid for.
(18:20):
So these people better get their fact straight. Trump is
playing on two hours a week, which is actually good
physical exercise for a man like him, and we are
getting sucking for the bill of Obama's basketball court. Marking
the business pages of The New York Post yesterday, Charlie
(18:42):
Gasparino had a good article about Zoramondami style alleged takeover everything.
Thank god, in nineteen seventy five, you carry and feelix
Rohatan they played put in this law called the Financial
Emergency Act of nineteen seventy five, most of the TATS revenue,
(19:05):
since New York is already on the water, any new
tax revenue, the bond holders guy first DIBs on it,
not Mandanmi. He doesn't realize. He doesn't realize that a
lot of the things he's claiming he's gonna do.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And also he knows he can't do. But you're right, Vincent,
great call is always great point. Yeah, check out that article.
Charlie Gasprino points. I remember New York almost went bankrupt
and the bond holders that Arrescue will carry, and those
guys put in some real protections against the mom. Donnie.
You might not have realized at the time how important
it was, but it's going to come into play now
(19:39):
to prevent Mamdanni from doing anything too crazy. Hey, when
we come back, Miranda Divine will be with us. The
Great Columnists coming up next on seven to ten WR.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Now back to the Mont Simon Show on WR.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Well, Miranda Divine the biggest and best columnist around. You
can read a column in The New York Post, make Sure,
or an excellent podcast. It's called Pod Force one, Great
guests every week. Podforce one is available wherever you get podcasts,
and get her latest book, The Big Guys. Whether she's
written some great bestsellers. Miranda Devine, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Hey? Thanks so much, Mike, I'm great.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Hey. I love this column about Michelle Obama. What is
she doing? She's been on this whining tour complaining about
how bad America was to her? What is that? What
got into her?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well? My personal theory is that her complaints are just
so absurd. You know, she says it was such a
burden to have hair and makeup and fashion stylists when
she was at the White House, and you know how
tough life was. I just think that she's trying to
portray herself as a victim because now that the Commings
(20:54):
are in charge of her husband's party, she has to
kind of stop them asking why she has so many
mansions and try and make them feel sorry for her.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Ah, that's a good point, but her complaining somebody who
has a multiple twenty five million dollar mansions and flying
around in private jets all over the place. But it's
tough for people like her and Bill Clinton and to
go back to obscurity, isn't it. They just can't get
(21:26):
off the stage.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
So hard for them. You know, my heart bleeds. We've
got Nancy Pelosi's the other one. She's decided, at the
grand old age of eighty five, that she might decide
to retire in a couple of years. And I think
that she's doing it just in the nick of time
before Zoram, you know, tax the rich Mam Danny and
(21:50):
his crew take over the party and start asking questions
about her little one hundred and forty million dollar hall
that she dragging away from her stock tips, very very prescient,
her little little, you know, stock market portfolio.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
That's a very interesting theory that all of these dirty
politicians are going into hiding before the Communists take over.
But Mamdani so far, the people he's chosen Transition team others,
they're all extra Blasio people. So we got through Deblasio
for eight years. We'll get through this, won't we.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Look, the problem is, I think Deblasio was always high
and late to work and I'm off going to his
gym in Brooklyn, and you know, he just didn't do
a lot, and so he still created Mayhem and the
city just went downhill. So palpably on his watch. But
(22:55):
Mamdani is more of an ideologue. You know, he's more determined,
he has more energy. He really wants to shake up
the place. And that's what I worry about. And the
other thing is that with Deblasia, we're coming off a
pretty good level. You know, it was the Rudy Giuliani
(23:15):
Bloomberg City, and so there was a long way to fall.
But we don't have a long way to fall anymore.
Before we're just off the planet. The city is already
difficult to live in. Eric Adams has sort of arrested
the decline a little bit, but once he's gone, you know,
(23:35):
we're going to have violence interrupters, social workers in lord police.
And already we have governors from red states like Ronda
Santis in Florida putting out feelers for our NYPD officers.
They're going to give them bonuses if they move, and
(23:56):
I think it's very difficult for them not to sort
of accept, you know, the good ones anyway, not to
accept those bribes to leave New York.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Hey, Miranda Devine does an excellent podcast, one of the
best podcasts out there. It's called Podforce one. The latest
one is Eric Trump Boy. That was interesting. Tell us
about your impressions of Eric Trump.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He is just a really delightful person. And I guess
the big takeout I get from all of the Trump
five children is just how well adjusted and kind of
decent they are. Eric Trump is really, as your father
calls him, a good boy. And he described his childhood.
(24:40):
His mother, Ivana Trump, was really tough. She was, you know,
check from basically behind the iron curtain.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
She was a champion.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Skier and so she really ruled their family with iron discipline.
And what Eric said was, if it got past my
mum to my father, you knew were really in trouble.
But it really didn't because she just made sure that
all those energetic kids with type A personalities that Eric
(25:17):
describes them were held in line. And their father also
during the holidays, got them to go and work on
his various construction sites for minimum wage. And Eric said
he absolutely loved it, like he loved working with his hands,
like they were absolutely exhausted by the end of the day.
(25:37):
And his father also said no drinking, no smoking, no drugs,
and that was the one ironclad rule for the family.
And Eric said, look, by the end of the workday,
we were so exhausted, and we also knew how hard
it had been to earn that twenty bucks that we
(25:58):
you know, he said, I just didn't want to spend
on a slab of beer. And he also said that,
you know, he went to all the best schools, colleges, etc.
And he said most of his peers ended up in
rehab or some sort of problem because they had too
much time and too much money.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah, it's a fascinating podcast, Go listen to its pod
Force one. Miranda Divine's podcast latest episode is Eric Trump.
So you wrote the definitive book on Hunter Biden. So
are you saying Eric Trump was a little better raised
than Hunter was.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yes, yes, far better. And look, I don't blame Hunter honestly.
His father is just the most treacherous and dishonest politician
I think I have ever encountered, and deeply selfish. And
so when you know that great tragedy happened in Hunter's
(26:55):
life where his mother who was killed in a car crash,
and his little sister died as well, and he and
his brother were in the back seat quite badly injured.
His father had just been elected to the Senate in
a fluke, and he could have forgone that great opportunity
(27:17):
to stay at home and look after his kids, but
he didn't. And I think all of Hunter's problems stemmed
from that. He was brought up. You know, his aunt
was very decent, his uncle, extended family brought him up,
and Joe would come home, he claimed every night on
the Amtrak of I hear other stories that when he
(27:38):
did come home, it was too late to do anything
other than, you know, looking on them when they slept.
But anyway, I just don't think he was a very
good father. And you know, poor poor Hunter, this motherless kid.
And then his stepmother Jill Biden, when she came on
(28:00):
the scene a few years later, when she was already
on the scene, but when she married Joe moved in,
Hunter just felt she didn't like him, and so that
was another burden to put up with. So and then
his father, you know, instead of letting him be an
author or an artist, which is what he wanted, his
father made him be the bag man for the family
(28:21):
and going to business. And he didn't really want to
do that. So you can hardly you can sort of
understand why he fell into drugs.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yes, that's pretty interesting, and you have a good heart
and a good amount of sympathy for him. You should
get her book, Laptop from Hell and The Big Guy,
the two best books on the Biden family. So, hey,
we only got a minute left. Tell me you brought
this up last time. This was so fascinating. I got
(28:53):
so much reaction to this. The reason for the Trump
to arrangements in him, the reason they hate him so much.
It's what was it? You said? It was the masky
He's like a daddy why do they hate him so much?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, I mean it really is deranged. It really seems
to be a psychological problem, and women are particularly afflicted,
and it just seems like they have daddy problems. You know,
he is unabashedly a throwback masculine, you know, something that
the left has been trying to stab out for the
(29:28):
last twenty years, calling it toxic masculinity, making little boys
be ashamed of their intrinsic natures, which you know, those
intrinsic natures that would have allowed civilization to survive human flourishing.
And you know, you stamp out strong men, what do
you get? You get a lot of toxic females. And
(29:50):
I think that's what trump derangements and joy me. I mean,
I write about Jennifer Welsh, who's this atheist podcaster I
had never heard of until just recently been elevated as
the kind of Democrats answer to Joe Rogan. And she
is the most toxic person I have ever seen in
my life, really, just so such a self hating white woman.
(30:15):
She was there at Mamdani's victory party and she's just
going on about she's talking to two non white people
who lefties and she's just talking about how, oh, if
there were white people here at this party, the music
would be terrible, and Americans have no culture, and we
(30:35):
need to teach the crusty old white people about culture.
We have to teach them. She's just scary, scary woman.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Wow. Well, Miranda Divine, brilliant as always. Get her podcast.
You got to listen to this podcast every week. It's
a pod force one. Wherever you get your podcast reader columns,
the New York Post, make sure you get her latest book,
The Big Guy. Fascinating stuff about the Bidens. Miranda Devine. Thanks,
we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Thanks Mack, You're very kind.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
All right, take care. Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay.
They do a wonderful show every day noon to three.
Then at three o'clock you got the most listened to
radio show in America, Sean Hannity. I'll be a guest
somewhere today, I think in the final hour on the
Sean Hannity Show. And then you got Jesse Kelly at
six and Jimmy Fayla. Boy, what a great show every
(31:24):
night nine to midnight. It's all right here on seven
to ten. Wr back to Marsham on wor well, we're
out of time. Hey, don't forget. Tomorrow is Veterans Day
and the parade is tomorrow Veterans Day Parade. It's on
Fifth Avenue. It goes from about twenty fifth Street to
(31:46):
about forty fifth Street, so it's gonna be a traffic mess.
I'll be on the Sean Handity Show later today, I
think in the final hour. Otherwise, I'll be back tomorrow
ten to noon and I'll talk to you then right
here on seven ten w O R.
You're listening to Mark emotion only on Well, hey, we'll
get to the governor's race. We'll get to mom, Donnie.
And the shutdown looks like it's ending. It's coming to
an end. The first big vote last night. They'll have
it wrapped up, probably by Wednesday. Schumer getting a lot
(00:20):
of flak from Democrats. The leading Democrat right now probably
Gavin Newsom. He's the leader of the twenty twenty eight bunch,
and he tweets out just one word pathetic. Pathetic. So
they'll be coming after Schumer, which is good.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
He deserves it.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And it's gonna get settled. And then like every other
shutdown we've had, how many of you have been through,
You've been through fourteen of them. You know, we'll just
forget about it. Everything, we'll get back to normal. It's
just good for the Democrats have a playbook. They all
get their assignment. If you were watching the Sunday shows yesterday,
(00:59):
you may have to notice that they're not only saying
the same thing, they're using these same exact phrases. It's
all coordinated. They do a conference call and it comes
from K Street in Washington, DC. All the Democrats are
given their assignment what to say on the shows, the
phrases to use one of them, which you saw every
Democrat use on the Sunday shows. Somewhere in the middle
(01:22):
area said if Donald Trump didn't spend all his time
on the golf course. You saw that like a fourteen
times on those Sunday shows. You heard Adam Shift said,
you heard Hakim Jeffrey said, every Democrat used that phrase. Well,
he didn't spend all his time on the golf course.
Now obviously coordinated, but also what does it mean, does
he spend all his time on the golf course. No,
(01:43):
obviously not. You know, he plays golf on Saturday and Sunday,
and I've played golf with him a lot of times.
He plays fast. It's not four hours, it's two hours.
Maybe it's quick. He plays quick. So you're entitled on
Saturday and Sunday to take the day off. You know,
Obama liked to play basketball. He didn't like golf. He
(02:05):
liked to play basketball. He even had a basketball court
put it in the White House so he could play basketball,
and Saturday and Sunday he would go on that basketball
court and play basketball. I never heard anybody say, well,
he didn't spend all this time playing basketball. Every president
does something on the weekends. Every president has a hobby
of some kind. Nixon liked to read Saturday and Sunday,
(02:26):
sit around and read. They didn't say, well, he didn't
spend all his time reading. You're entitled on Saturday and
Sunday to take a couple of hours on Saturday and
Sunday to do whatever your hobby is. So a crazy
talking point they were using. Nancy Pelosi is leaving. That's
the good news. The fascinating part is her amazing career
(02:48):
in the stock market. She is up over the last
few years. Warren Buffett, I think it's up like four
hundred percent or something. Is her portfolio. This is not
a joke. Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent. Seventeen
thousand percent. That's the greatest ever trading record in the
(03:11):
history of the stock exchange. Nobody has ever been up
like that, No hedge fund, no anybody. Now, obviously she
did it with insider trading. When you are in Congress,
you get access to all kinds of information before anybody else.
You know what company's going to get a ruling against them,
what company's going to get a ruling for them, and
(03:32):
you can trade based on that. It's legal. I don't
know how this ever happened, but it's legal for people
in Congress to engage in insider trading. It's got to
be outlawed. But the only people can outlawd the congressmen themselves.
So Pelosi was the king, the queen of insider trading.
Her portfolio is up seventeen thousand percent. She's made hundreds
(03:53):
of millions of dollars in Congress. She was asked about
it over.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
The first of your career.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Has her husband ever maybe stock purchaser saleb some information
you received from you?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Absolutely not, no, No, you're up seventeen thousand percent. Did
you use your insider note? No, no, no, just shere
brilliance on her part, But it's done all the time,
not on a smaller scale. You got this new Jersey
governor elect, Mikey Cheryl, who's brand new, just started. But
(04:23):
in her brief little time in Congress, she somehow made
seven million trading stock, just like that seven million, And
our friend down the hall there, Charlemagne, asked her, but
did you make seven million trading stocks?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
There is no individual stock trading. It's not as if
I go sit on the House Arm Service Committee and
suddenly I'm trading Boeing or something. There's none of that.
I'm totally out of individual stocks. And I, like I said,
I think every member of Congress.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Shall be well, did you make seven million in stock
trees at all? Well?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I haven't.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I don't believe I did, but I'd have to go
see what that was alluding to it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Now, you know how much money you got to have
to not notice if you've made seven million to not
notice seven million showing up in your bank account or
your your stock account. If you didn't notice seven million,
you got to be worth hundreds of millions not to
notice seven million. I mean, if you're Elon Musk and
an extra seven million showed up in your stock portfolio,
(05:26):
you might not note. Who's going to notice you got
five hundred billion. Who's gonna know a seven million? But
she didn't notice the seven million? Anyway. Hey, the good
news is there's some indictments coming. The grand jury approved
subpoenas for John Brennan, the dirty former CIA director. But
it looks like they're going after Strack and Page all
(05:46):
the people that did that. Disgusting Russia witch hunt hoax.
One by one. They'll be going after all of them.
So that's that's good news. Expect that pretty soon. So
the race for governor, you got HOCl in trouble. Obviously,
people can't stand Hokel and she's embracing Mamdannie. You know,
(06:07):
they had that big Democrat conference in Puerto Rico. They
called the somos whatever that stands for, but it's basically
they say it's to relax in a conference. It's a
conference when they're all to talk to each other. But
as Curtis would say, it's whining, dining, and pocket lining
kind of a deal. And they had to do a
(06:29):
couple of joint appearances and Hokel was all over Mam Donnie,
introducing them, praising them, holding hands with him. So you'll
see Stephanic, at least Stephonic running against Nancy Hokeel Kathy
Hochel for governor. This could be an interesting race.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
This is a toxic governor who has a record of
delivering the highest taxes in the nation, of hurting hard
working New Yorkers, of turning her back on law enforcement
officers and small businesses. New York is in catastrophe because
of Kathy Hochel's lead readership.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Nastophonic, she's Ferosias going after HOCl and she's going to
time the Mom.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Donnie, this was not a mandate, even though Mom Dommi
is claiming such. He barely got over fifty percent, So
that is really a historically low performance for someone who
won the Democrat primary. That means nearly half of New
York City voters, which is traditionally a Democrat city, voted
against Mom Dommi because they know he is so radical,
he's out of touch with hard working families, with small
(07:25):
businesses who are already crushed by the highest taxes in
the nation.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, she's right, Mom, Donnie. He did get a majority
fifty point four percent, but remember he was up against
the biggest loser in the world, Andrew Cuomo. Curtis was
a good candidate, but remember everybody on earth, every major figure,
was telling you not to vote for Curtis, so nobody
could have I mean, there's nobody in the history of
(07:51):
an election they ever had to shoot greased for them
more than Cuomo. I mean, the runway was cleared for
him and he still couldn't pull it off. So that's
how Mam Donnie Won. Stephanic will be a big, big,
tough challenger to Hochell.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
She's an accidental governor. She's only in this position because
she was Cuomo's lieutenant governor and when New Yorkers were
looking for strong leadership from a governor. Not to bend
the knee to Zorn Mamdami, Kathy Hochel Benthany, Why did
she do that? Because she is hemorrhaging support even in
her own party among Democrats.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, now she's going to have a lot of people
going after But who's going to go after her? Aoc Well,
a lot of people don't take her seriously. Schumer is
an old, dried up fossil Hakeem Jefferies. He talks like
a robot. He talks as he's such a robotic guy.
He's already going after Stephanic.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
You know, at least Stephonic is nothing more than a
handmaiden for Donald Trump's extreme policy. She's a sickophant who
has been a repeated rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
He's he's one of those guys on the conference call.
He repeats whatever he's told to. If the President didn't
spend all his time on a golf course. Blah blah
blah knows she's supposed to use the word extreme. President
Trump's extreme agenda with his extreme policies is extreme, Maga
extreme magit. What is so extreme? What extreme policies? What's
the most extreme thing? What ice simply enforcing the law?
(09:15):
Following the law? That's extreme? Since when there'll be ads
against Hochel.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Now Elist Devonic is running for governor of New York
to do what he's.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This is a this is a hocal ad. This is
Hokal's actually used against Tefonic.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Now Elist Devonic is running for governor of New York
to do what she's always done. Put Trump first. She
is phenomenal, She is a friend of mine, phenomenal at
putting Trump ahead of you.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh my god, she knows Trump. That's going to be
their whole campaign. So here's the problem for Republicans. You're
going to have possibly a big primary because Bruce Blakeman,
the brilliant county executive, best county executive in America Nassau County.
I hear he wants to run. So if he runs
against Stephonic, that is one tough choice. Stephonic everybody loves
(10:04):
she's a pit bull. She's great. But it's Blakeman who's
the actual executive, who has actual management experience running a county,
which is like being the governor of Nassau County. So
he's the guy with more experience. He's the best county executive.
He'd be a great governor. That's a tough choice. That's
a very very tough primary. Now, Stephanic would probably do
(10:25):
better upstate because she's got that kind of an upstate
kind of a sound, and she talks kind of fashions.
She's very upstate. Bruce Blakeman is more of a sophisticated
city slicker type of guy. But half the votes for
governor are right here in New York City. You got
to do really well in New York City. I would
imagine Blakeman does much better in New York City than Stefanic.
(10:47):
He'd have to go upstate and campaign, but got a
hell of a hell of a resume. But this is
a really tough one for Republicans, a really tough primary
coming up next year. Hey, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
you know it gets tough. They've cleaned it up. It's
a much better Rock and Roll Hall of Fame now
than it was a few years ago. But it's tough
(11:09):
with you. Like in the year, you know, the first
year rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Elvis Beatles. You know,
you put everybody in, but when you get the year
forty five, you know you're starting to run out of people.
So it was it was a bad company. I mean
they were okay, bad company, but rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. But then you got to perform the Hits
(11:30):
A bad company, It's okay. I mean they're not the Beatles,
the bad company. They're at the Rolling Stones. You know,
you're thirty seven, you run out of pa Hey, we
love Cyndi Lauper. Who could not like Cyndi Lapper she
got in.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
I know that I stand on the shoulders of the
women in the industry that came before me, and my
shoulders are broad enough to have the women that come
after me stand online. And and yeah, it's that I
thought was really important, which is why I really came
(12:03):
here tonight, is to tell you that the little kid
and me still believes that rock and roll can save
the world. So I just want to say, now, of
all times, let's come together again and do good in
the world because it needs us.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, we'll get right on that, but we love her.
Then they got a lot of great performances on the
show to be you know, tightened up, edited down, be
a great TV special. Elton John performed, Elton John did
the Beach Boys hit. Elton John still sounds good. He
lost a lot of rains in his voice, but still
sounds good. David Letterman there, Santa Claus himself. Warren Zevon
(12:49):
gave Letteriman his guitar. I guess he knew he was
didn't have much longer to go and told Letterman to
take care of it. He brought it to the ceremony.
It was used and one of the Sun's Well, here's
let him in on that show.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
And then the thing about enjoy every sandwich. You know
that that's easy, but it's deeply meaningful.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And there's not a person in this room who hasn't
considered that. But nobody can hang on to that on
a daily basis. But by God, isn't that true of
life around the planet. Yeah, I don't know what he's
talking about, but it sounds good. But the beard, the beard,
I don't know. He said he has that beard because
he doesn't want you to ever confuse him with the
old David Letterman. He's like a new, different guy. All right, Hey,
(13:31):
Mom Donnie is putting together his team. The five or
six names we've seen already are all ex Deblasio administration.
One is from the Adams administration. So it's gonna be bad.
But again, if it's all these Deblasio people picking de
Blasio administration people, we got through eight years at the Blasia.
We'll get through this. Now here's the interesting part. Brad Lander,
(13:54):
who's a really awful, awful guy. You saw him in
the primaries, really kooky, left wing, disgusting. He's Jewish, but
he embraced every anti Semitic, stupid, anti Israel thing in
the world. So people really just came to really dislike
brad Lander. But he was a big help to Mom
Donnie in the primary. But they've made it clear no
(14:17):
brad Lander in the administration. He's out. They have kicked
him to the curb. So there's one good thing Mom
Donnie has done. Why would he do that?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Is he just so?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Does he not have any gratitude? Is he not loyal? Well,
people said that behind the scenes brad Lander who's an
obnoxious guy, really obnoxious guy, they say behind the scenes.
He was running around telling everybody he'll be running city hall.
He'll be running things in a Mam Donnie, Well it
got back to mom, Donnie. Brad Lander is out, so
that's good. Hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
(14:51):
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten, always ahead
of the news. Here's more Marks imone on seven to ten.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
Wo r Oh my.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
God, what's going on? I just heard Andy Williams and
Jose Peliciano and Christmphy music. And the tree is up
in Rockefeller Center. No lights on it yet. They got
a decorate hive, but they actually put it up Saturday.
Let's take some calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
how you doing. Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
I think it's pretty obvious that the governor's race it's
going to be hulcal slamming Trump and Stephanic trying to
slam Mandani. By the way, she should pronounce his name right,
because as trivial as it is, it sounds they'll hammer
her for it.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
But I think right, yeah, wa Al Sharpton would say
to go Mam Damn.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Yeah, I like that. That's okay with me. But right
now Trump's name is more toxic than Mom Danny's, and
it's unfortunate, and I think Stephonic will run away from Trump.
And Hulk mentioned Trump's name in every sentence of every
speed each makes, and I think it's really a problem
for Stephanic.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I don't know, a year from now, you're gonna be
better being linked to Trump than to Mom Donnie and.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Your mouth to God's ears, I hope.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So all right, thanks for Colin. Yeah, yes, you will
be linked to Bray. Bruce Blakeman and Trump been very
good friends, very close. Trump's a big Bruce Blakeman supporter,
so they'll have the same problem too. Let's go to
uh Nat in New Hyde Park, Nat. How you doing good?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Good?
Speaker 10 (16:29):
A great show, Mark as usual. I learned more from
you than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Really, we're gonna send you a bill for tuition. We're
gonna be like Harvard. We're gonna charge you at ninety
five thousand this semester.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Go ahead, okay, anyway, I think Stephanic should go up
the Schumer's seat. I think she could easily beat AOC,
and I think she would make a great senator. And
I think Blakeman would be a much better governor.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, you know what, that's a very very good point.
That's an excellent point. With Schumer running, you know, nobody
could ever run against him. Had The problem is when
he was in the race, the big Republican donors all
wanted him because he that's Schumer's main business donor favors.
He takes care of the donors. So the Republicans everybody
got behind Schumer. With him out of the race, AOC
(17:20):
is not big on those donor favors. For the first time,
a Republican would have a shot. It's a statewide race,
so Republican would have a shot. Stephani would be great
a senator. You're right, that's a good, good idea. Let's
go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning, Mara. Mark.
Did you see that photo op that Mandami took with
his transition team the day after the election? Those women,
it looked like it was the escape from the dog pound?
Should hand out leashes the dog pound mob? Everybody talking
(17:57):
about Trump playing golf, well, at least he's playing golf
on golf courses that he built with his own money
and his own construction company, whereas Obama was playing basketball
at the White House on a two hundred and fifty
million dollar basketball court that we, the sucker citizens, paid for.
(18:20):
So these people better get their fact straight. Trump is
playing on two hours a week, which is actually good
physical exercise for a man like him, and we are
getting sucking for the bill of Obama's basketball court. Marking
the business pages of The New York Post yesterday, Charlie
(18:42):
Gasparino had a good article about Zoramondami style alleged takeover everything.
Thank god, in nineteen seventy five, you carry and feelix
Rohatan they played put in this law called the Financial
Emergency Act of nineteen seventy five, most of the TATS revenue,
(19:05):
since New York is already on the water, any new
tax revenue, the bond holders guy first DIBs on it,
not Mandanmi. He doesn't realize. He doesn't realize that a
lot of the things he's claiming he's gonna do.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And also he knows he can't do. But you're right, Vincent,
great call is always great point. Yeah, check out that article.
Charlie Gasprino points. I remember New York almost went bankrupt
and the bond holders that Arrescue will carry, and those
guys put in some real protections against the mom. Donnie.
You might not have realized at the time how important
it was, but it's going to come into play now
(19:39):
to prevent Mamdanni from doing anything too crazy. Hey, when
we come back, Miranda Divine will be with us. The
Great Columnists coming up next on seven to ten WR.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Now back to the Mont Simon Show on WR.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Well, Miranda Divine the biggest and best columnist around. You
can read a column in The New York Post, make Sure,
or an excellent podcast. It's called Pod Force one, Great
guests every week. Podforce one is available wherever you get podcasts,
and get her latest book, The Big Guys. Whether she's
written some great bestsellers. Miranda Devine, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Hey? Thanks so much, Mike, I'm great.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Hey. I love this column about Michelle Obama. What is
she doing? She's been on this whining tour complaining about
how bad America was to her? What is that? What
got into her?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well? My personal theory is that her complaints are just
so absurd. You know, she says it was such a
burden to have hair and makeup and fashion stylists when
she was at the White House, and you know how
tough life was. I just think that she's trying to
portray herself as a victim because now that the Commings
(20:54):
are in charge of her husband's party, she has to
kind of stop them asking why she has so many
mansions and try and make them feel sorry for her.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Ah, that's a good point, but her complaining somebody who
has a multiple twenty five million dollar mansions and flying
around in private jets all over the place. But it's
tough for people like her and Bill Clinton and to
go back to obscurity, isn't it. They just can't get
(21:26):
off the stage.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
So hard for them. You know, my heart bleeds. We've
got Nancy Pelosi's the other one. She's decided, at the
grand old age of eighty five, that she might decide
to retire in a couple of years. And I think
that she's doing it just in the nick of time
before Zoram, you know, tax the rich Mam Danny and
(21:50):
his crew take over the party and start asking questions
about her little one hundred and forty million dollar hall
that she dragging away from her stock tips, very very prescient,
her little little, you know, stock market portfolio.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
That's a very interesting theory that all of these dirty
politicians are going into hiding before the Communists take over.
But Mamdani so far, the people he's chosen Transition team others,
they're all extra Blasio people. So we got through Deblasio
for eight years. We'll get through this, won't we.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Look, the problem is, I think Deblasio was always high
and late to work and I'm off going to his
gym in Brooklyn, and you know, he just didn't do
a lot, and so he still created Mayhem and the
city just went downhill. So palpably on his watch. But
(22:55):
Mamdani is more of an ideologue. You know, he's more determined,
he has more energy. He really wants to shake up
the place. And that's what I worry about. And the
other thing is that with Deblasia, we're coming off a
pretty good level. You know, it was the Rudy Giuliani
(23:15):
Bloomberg City, and so there was a long way to fall.
But we don't have a long way to fall anymore.
Before we're just off the planet. The city is already
difficult to live in. Eric Adams has sort of arrested
the decline a little bit, but once he's gone, you know,
(23:35):
we're going to have violence interrupters, social workers in lord police.
And already we have governors from red states like Ronda
Santis in Florida putting out feelers for our NYPD officers.
They're going to give them bonuses if they move, and
(23:56):
I think it's very difficult for them not to sort
of accept, you know, the good ones anyway, not to
accept those bribes to leave New York.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Hey, Miranda Devine does an excellent podcast, one of the
best podcasts out there. It's called Podforce one. The latest
one is Eric Trump Boy. That was interesting. Tell us
about your impressions of Eric Trump.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
He is just a really delightful person. And I guess
the big takeout I get from all of the Trump
five children is just how well adjusted and kind of
decent they are. Eric Trump is really, as your father
calls him, a good boy. And he described his childhood.
(24:40):
His mother, Ivana Trump, was really tough. She was, you know,
check from basically behind the iron curtain.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
She was a champion.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Skier and so she really ruled their family with iron discipline.
And what Eric said was, if it got past my
mum to my father, you knew were really in trouble.
But it really didn't because she just made sure that
all those energetic kids with type A personalities that Eric
(25:17):
describes them were held in line. And their father also
during the holidays, got them to go and work on
his various construction sites for minimum wage. And Eric said
he absolutely loved it, like he loved working with his hands,
like they were absolutely exhausted by the end of the day.
(25:37):
And his father also said no drinking, no smoking, no drugs,
and that was the one ironclad rule for the family.
And Eric said, look, by the end of the workday,
we were so exhausted, and we also knew how hard
it had been to earn that twenty bucks that we
(25:58):
you know, he said, I just didn't want to spend
on a slab of beer. And he also said that,
you know, he went to all the best schools, colleges, etc.
And he said most of his peers ended up in
rehab or some sort of problem because they had too
much time and too much money.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah, it's a fascinating podcast, Go listen to its pod
Force one. Miranda Divine's podcast latest episode is Eric Trump.
So you wrote the definitive book on Hunter Biden. So
are you saying Eric Trump was a little better raised
than Hunter was.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yes, yes, far better. And look, I don't blame Hunter honestly.
His father is just the most treacherous and dishonest politician
I think I have ever encountered, and deeply selfish. And
so when you know that great tragedy happened in Hunter's
(26:55):
life where his mother who was killed in a car crash,
and his little sister died as well, and he and
his brother were in the back seat quite badly injured.
His father had just been elected to the Senate in
a fluke, and he could have forgone that great opportunity
(27:17):
to stay at home and look after his kids, but
he didn't. And I think all of Hunter's problems stemmed
from that. He was brought up. You know, his aunt
was very decent, his uncle, extended family brought him up,
and Joe would come home, he claimed every night on
the Amtrak of I hear other stories that when he
(27:38):
did come home, it was too late to do anything
other than, you know, looking on them when they slept.
But anyway, I just don't think he was a very
good father. And you know, poor poor Hunter, this motherless kid.
And then his stepmother Jill Biden, when she came on
(28:00):
the scene a few years later, when she was already
on the scene, but when she married Joe moved in,
Hunter just felt she didn't like him, and so that
was another burden to put up with. So and then
his father, you know, instead of letting him be an
author or an artist, which is what he wanted, his
father made him be the bag man for the family
(28:21):
and going to business. And he didn't really want to
do that. So you can hardly you can sort of
understand why he fell into drugs.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yes, that's pretty interesting, and you have a good heart
and a good amount of sympathy for him. You should
get her book, Laptop from Hell and The Big Guy,
the two best books on the Biden family. So, hey,
we only got a minute left. Tell me you brought
this up last time. This was so fascinating. I got
(28:53):
so much reaction to this. The reason for the Trump
to arrangements in him, the reason they hate him so much.
It's what was it? You said? It was the masky
He's like a daddy why do they hate him so much?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, I mean it really is deranged. It really seems
to be a psychological problem, and women are particularly afflicted,
and it just seems like they have daddy problems. You know,
he is unabashedly a throwback masculine, you know, something that
the left has been trying to stab out for the
(29:28):
last twenty years, calling it toxic masculinity, making little boys
be ashamed of their intrinsic natures, which you know, those
intrinsic natures that would have allowed civilization to survive human flourishing.
And you know, you stamp out strong men, what do
you get? You get a lot of toxic females. And
(29:50):
I think that's what trump derangements and joy me. I mean,
I write about Jennifer Welsh, who's this atheist podcaster I
had never heard of until just recently been elevated as
the kind of Democrats answer to Joe Rogan. And she
is the most toxic person I have ever seen in
my life, really, just so such a self hating white woman.
(30:15):
She was there at Mamdani's victory party and she's just
going on about she's talking to two non white people
who lefties and she's just talking about how, oh, if
there were white people here at this party, the music
would be terrible, and Americans have no culture, and we
(30:35):
need to teach the crusty old white people about culture.
We have to teach them. She's just scary, scary woman.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
